I’ve chosen 20 songs that were historically important as #1 hits. The basic idea behind the book is to use the Billboard singles charts, and the #1 spot specifically, as a way to look at the history of pop music in America. None of my columns are reprinted in the book it’s a wholly original work. The book is a sort of extension of the column, but it’s also a whole different thing. The book is called The Number Ones: Twenty Chart-Topping Hits That Reveal The History Of Pop Music, and I’ve been working on it for a long time. If you’ve been reading the Number Ones, the column where I review every #1 hit in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, then you might’ve already seen a few references to this thing, but I’ve now got the green light to officially announce it.
